See Gary Oldman As Winston Churchill In The First Trailer For Darkest Hour

The actor is unrecognisable in the iconic role.

As one of the most talked-about upcoming films of next year, Darkest Hour arrives in cinemas across the globe in January 2018, starring Gary Oldman in the leading role of Winston Churchill. You can now check out the first official trailer for the film below:

Beginning on the eve of World War II, the film will explore how Churchill must face one of his biggest challenges within just a few days of becoming Prime Minister; deciding whether to commit to a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or fight firmly for the ideals, liberty and freedom of the nation.

As Nazi threats roll through Western Europe, an invasion feels imminent in Britain, but with a public that are unprepared and a King sceptical about the future, Churchill faces party in-fighting and must withstand his darkest hour if he’s to rally a nation and change the course of world history.

Check out a first look image from the film as well as a brand new poster below:
